Good morning, everyone.
I'm sorry that we always seem to be starting our meetings late because the people before us never vacate their meetings until well past their time. With your permission, I will be sending a note suggesting that it would be really nice if people left their meetings on time so that we could begin on time, because we lose a big chunk of our meeting time when we have to do this. It's not the first time. It happens each time, so we'll need to deal with it. I noticed there's no clock in the room, so I guess we can forgive them for not knowing the time.
As you noticed, we have an in camera component from noon to one o'clock, because we need to discuss some aspects of the study that we're doing, witnesses, etc. There are many things we have to discuss. We also have a notice of motion from Ms. Mathyssen, as you probably all saw.
What I'd like to do is begin with our witness, Joan Brady, from the National Farmers Union.
Welcome, Ms. Brady.
